Hello everyone, welcome to my latest 4-part series to help you land that job after uni! This series will cover what to do before, during, and after a job interview to ensure you leave a positive impression on the interviewers and hopefully help you cinch opportunities! Enjoy!

How To Set Your Career On The Right Path Before You Even Graduate! (Link) Part 2: During The Interview (Link) Part 3: After The Interview (Link)

Research the job position and company values. 

It is critical to tackle all the requirements in your cover letter as well as your resume, and to be able to answer questions in the interview in a way that highlights you have those values the company is seeking. Even if the company doesn’t have a public ad, research similar positions at different companies and read those job descriptions. Have situations you’ve dealt with in your arsenal for answering situational questions. 

Make sure your resume is updated perfectly. 

It’ll save you a lot of time if you just update your resume every time you start something new! Standard stuff: Use ‘clean’ standard fonts, white A4 paper, single sided, 2 cohesive colours max. Include at least the minimum components or a combination of them: the rough order should be:

Career Objective

Education

Relevant Experience (include key responsibilities and noteworthy performance points)

Extra-Curricular Activities (if relevant)

Skills

Referees (usually just write “available on request”)

Cold call!

This is how I got my first relevant job as an optical assistant, which in a way, led to my current position today. Even whilst I was working as an optical assistant, occasionally we would get a new hire if their resume seemed good and they interviewed well. 

Prepare for common interview questions. 

Have scenarios ready illustrating how you dealt with a difficult situation

Guys, I love ID. I really hope I get to do an ID rotation on Medicine. If you remember, I once posted the mnemonic I swear by for viruses. Well here is the bacteria counterpart. Also your micro mantra should be: sketchy is life. Love Andrew like I do (this part’s not the mantra, I just love Andrew).

Let me know if you have any questions or need clarification.

Hi, everyone!! I’ve had a studyblr for about a week now and have already met so many kind, supportive people. I couldn’t be more thankful. That said, I really wanted to give back to such an amazing community! So here’s my first printable for you!

a 5AM-10PM schedule (for my early hustlers)

July 25 …. I finally get it!  He’s holding an eye dropper with a bulb on the end. I thought it was a pair of chopsticks! He’s picking up pieces of paper using the vacuum from squeezing the bulb! Still very formal, though …
